I hate doing taxes. It's like an oil change to me. Satisfying when done, but I hate doing it (or in my case having it done).

That sucks.

And yeah, basically. But similar to an oil change, I prefer doing it myself. Have my grandpa review them afterwards.

Yeah, really. And then they design the forms to over explain and over complicate every issue that they become more difficult than they would have before. I got so pissed at the child tax credit form last year, it directed me to some incredibly drawn out worksheet that was damn near what I calculated already.

Had a kid, bought a house, still have my allowances at just me, not even married.

Tsk tsk. Update your allowances dude. No reason to let your money just sit there and do nothing for you. Since you've got the room in your budget to have some of it taken out, make sure your 401k contributions are at the max number that your company matches, then contribute to your Roth IRA. Let your money work for you instead of the IRS!

They don't start processing tax filings until January 30th, but I want to get my returns back ASAP, so I figured why not do them early (plus, it was a slow day at work...). I get a little bit of enjoyment knowing I have a little money coming back. Gives me the excuse to poke around the internet looking for deals on car parts.

I used TurboTax, but I didn't use their app. I just use their free online service, and since WA does not have a state income tax, I don't have to pay TurboTax a dime. Don't even have to pay them for direct deposit to my bank account.

My company doesn't do any 401(k)/403(b) matching. They pay 10% into a pension fund without my paying a dime.
I started to max out my IRA and 401(k) but don't remember if I did or not... This tired thing is killing me.
Plus I got burned last year and owed like 3k...

I think Pelican has categories. You are randomly assigned one and from that point forward you get jelly beans, stickers, or coupons. But if you're a jelly bean guy you never get coupons. Or a coupon guy (like me) you never get jelly beans or stickers. And I want a dang sticker.
